Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Dong Giri offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Dong Giri is a solid pinnacle dive in South Malé. We've often found ourselves circling its slopes, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff – like the Palespot Eviota and those tiny Redlined Pygmygobies. It's a site that rewards a slow pace, letting you really peer into the coral heads, which include some nice patches of Galaxea and Larger star coral. While it might not have the big pelagic draws of some other Maldivian spots, it’s a good choice for divers who appreciate macro life and a relaxed drift, often with gentle currents.
